It's because everyone takes luden's echo on her which negates her previous nerf with its passive.

Mostly it's because Runeglaive.

Why not just delete the ratio entirely or make it relatively low? 390 is high enough, why're we tryna make champs that chunk half your hp in one hit, when I'm not even talking about her execute? Stupid as shit.

She's an assassin. She's meant to do damage.

Yeah I don't know if you have noticed this or not but every single assassin in the game is mobile. It is one of the defining traits of assassins. And I don't know if you've noticed this either but the assassins who cannot reliably use their assassination pattern get other stuff to compensate for their lack of reliability. Nidalee gets a heal and the ability to poke/siege because she cannot go in on a target anywhere near as often as the majority of the assassin roster, just like Ahri gets hard CC and strong waveclear because she can't assassinate without landing a skillshot and just like Ekko gets... like everything a champion could ever want because all of his abilities have ridiculous delays.

You don't want Nidalee to have a heal or poke? Sure. But in exchange she'll become one of League's assassins who can and will kill a target with very little chance of failure every single time they find one. Personally I prefer playing against assassins who actually have to try to kill me rather than you know, being Akali.
